Mark Jackson is a licensed minister who cheated on his wife with a stripper. He then paid thousands of dollars to her when she tried to extort him. The demands got to be too much so he ran to the FBI for help.

Mark then got a head coaching job (with ZERO previous experience) and then proceeded to have terrible working relationships with everyone in the organization who wasn’t a player. Despite the on-court improvement his poor people skills got him fired.

Mark Jackson is not a saint or a victim. Please stop acting like he is both.

This has nothing to do with race.

I mean, I don’t get it. Does the media get off my playing the race card? Does it get you more views/hits?
